Weird weather around the world – 2010 edition

If you live in the northeastern US, the title “weird weather” will not be a surprise. Or if you lived in the cold south this past winter. (See “Snow in 50 States – What’s going on?“). Or if you lived in the UK, Europe, Australia…

This is a summary of current (ie. happening right now) weird weather around the world posted by Brad Johnson at Wonkroom blog yesterday:

SOUTH AMERICA Tropical Storm 90Q, also known as Anita, the “second known tropical cyclone to form in the cooler South Atlantic Ocean,” is circling off the Argentina coast. The first known South Atlantic tropical cyclone, Catarina, was in 2004.

Europe: RIght now, Snow storms over France, Spain and also here in Scotland, wide spread flooding also expected.
Note that the Jet Stream remains far South of it’s usual path and has continued to move further South every year drawing ever colder artic air down from the north (Note, more northerly winds)
Reason THC slow or partial shutdown. If the gulf stream and north atlantic drift has weakend then the trade winds that this current generates will also weaken and as such will not push the Jet Stream north, simple but effective reasoning.
Now if this water is not moving north then it either must sit stagnant around the gulf of mexico or heat build up down the south Alantic, hence expect shed loads hurricanes and Cyclones.
THC shutdown is imminant, not in many years but is happening now, not quite “Day After Tommorrow” in it’s happenings, but this is a sign of things to come.
